[Dailydrool] Vet meds

[Elizabeth Franz]

I guess I am fortunate.  My dogs have required a number of
prescriptions over the years.  Due to a high maintenance hound in my
past, I think we built part of the new wing whent hey expanded.
However, it was my vet who first suggested that I fill the Rx at a
human pharmacy.

Most recently, we needed to start Bentley on medication for seizures.
I have kept the same vet for years, although I have moved across town,
making it a 35-45 minute drive to the vet.  Rather than trek accross
town, she offered to call in the Rx to the pharmacy just down the
street.

I have also dealt with another vet, and let her know that although I
love my dogs, cost is an issue.  Once again, I was able to fill the Rx
at the human pharmacy.  In this economy, there are a lot of people
struggling to make ends meet.  I wouldn't be shy about letting the vet
know that.  They should know that you always have the option of moving
your business to another vet who will work with you!
